boldly do things which you may previously never
have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to
attempt.
So many people live within unhappy circumstances
and yet will not take the initiative to change their
situation because they are conditioned to a life of
security, conformity, and conservation, all of which
may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality
nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit
within a man than a secure future.
The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his
passion for adventure.
The joy of life comes from our
encounters with new experiences, and hence there is
no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing
horizon, for each day to have anew and different sun.
If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your
inclination for monotonous security and adopt a
helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to
you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to
such a life you will see its full meaning and its
incredible beauty.”
